My office sits above a Subway. I live there.

The other day, in the lunchtime crunch, I ordered a large diet coke and got like, the teensiest cup. Because I was in a rush, I took the cup and bolted. What was I thinking? I got jipped!

Those thieving bastards. :mad: (I'm just teasing! :p) They got my extra moolah! So, I give that money to you, Moonliner. To donate toward your extra meat. :) All is right in the change till, and all is karmically right in the world again (at least I hope so!) :)

Theif? No. They accepted what you paid in exchange for what they gave you. It's kind of like them signing a contract you know has a clause to your advantage but it is their responsibility to find it.

Immoral? Not really, for the same reason. Ultimately the responsibility falls on the Subway to charge the correct price.

But I'd still say you should have brought it to the clerk's attention. If for no other reason that to possibly make her life easier. I doubt that Subway can keep track with sufficient accuracy to know at the end of the day one extra order of meat went out than was paid for, but it also wouldn't surprise me to learn that they do (they probably have RFID chips implanted in each deli slice) and regardless of how it came to management attention her sloppiness could get her in trouble. Again, that is her responsibility to avoid, but since you weren't looking to score free hamlike-product I'd have spoken up just to be nice.

Well, that would explain the flavor. ;)

Yes, but he knew he had double meat. Not saying is the same as stealing isn't it?

(Am I really taking part in a conversation about purloined Subway double meat?)
:D

I'd say that the right thing to do is to report the full extent of the meat.

I like to report the full extent of the meat. Oh, yes. I do. Sometimes at the top of my voice.

The cat may be startled at my sudden vocal outburst, but that's the best thing I've read all week!

Are you sure you actually got double meat? Estimations of meat are often overstated and exaggerated.

I'm sure subway got their pound of flesh out of the negligent clerk.

Ahh at last we get to the meat of the matter. When I made the original post I was wondering how long a discussion on "double meat" could go before it swelled and started pointing in a new direction .. :cool:


Alex you are my hero and moral compass, from now on when faced with the difficult decisions life brings I shall only have to stop and ask myself WWASD? Then I shall know that I am truly upon the golden path of life.
